How it works
Home Battery Storage
Store what your panels make, or charge cheaply overnight and run the house on it during the expensive part of the day.

Why a battery changes the maths
Without storage, solar generated at midday while the house is empty is exported for a fraction of what you pay to import in the evening. A battery keeps it. On a time-of-use tariff it can also charge overnight at the cheap rate and carry the house through the expensive hours — useful whether or not you have panels.
Sized around how you actually use electricity
Battery sizing is a consumption question, not a roof question. We look at when you use power across the day before recommending a capacity.
What a battery actually does
A battery does one simple thing: it moves electricity through time. Solar generated at noon is kept for the evening; cheap overnight units are kept for the expensive peak. The battery itself saves nothing — the gap between the price you would have paid and the price you did pay is the saving. That is why the right capacity depends entirely on your consumption pattern and your tariff, and why we start there.
Suitability
Where it suits — and where it doesn't
Solar owners exporting cheaply
If most of your generation leaves for a low export rate while you buy evening power at full price, storage closes exactly that gap.
Time-of-use tariffs
A battery can charge at the overnight rate and carry the house through the peak — worthwhile with or without panels.
All-electric homes
The more of your heating and hot water runs on electricity, the more each stored unit is worth.
The scope
What's included
- Store solar generation for evening use
- Charge on off-peak rates
- Works alongside electric heating
- Sized to your consumption pattern
How the job runs
-
Free home survey
We visit, measure each room and look at how you actually live in the house. Heat output is sized per room — a guess made over the phone is how people end up cold in the room they use most.
-
A written recommendation
You get a clear proposal setting out what we would install, why that specification, and what it costs. No pressure and no obligation to go ahead.
-
Removal and disposal
Removal and disposal of old storage heaters, convector heaters, boilers and cylinders is part of the job, and we make good afterwards.
-
Installation and handover
We install, test and then show you how to run it. Getting the controls right is most of the saving, so we do not leave until you know how to use them.
Covering Christchurch & the South
We provide battery storage installation throughout Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Weymouth, Dorchester, Salisbury, Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Devon and the surrounding area — planned at a free home survey, with a written recommendation and no obligation.
